Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. In this disease, genetic and environmental factors are involved. In Alzheimer's, changes of nucleotide 196 (G> A) or valine polymorphism of 66-methionine in the BDNF gene is a risk factor for brain-derived neurogenic factors. In China, this polymorphism has not been studied in Alzheimer's patients and perhaps this study could provide appropriate...
